Around 20 people have died in accidents linked to defects in Takata airbags since 2013, prompting a massive worldwide recall of at least 100 million cars from a wide range of manufacturers.The recall will affect nearly 273,000 models built by BMW's joint venture with Chinese manufacturer Brilliance Automotive and more than 87,000 imported BMW cars, China's State Administration for Market Regulation said.
The agency said in a statement posted on its website late on Tuesday that a defect could cause the airbags to eject debris at passengers if deployed.The China recall affects more than two dozen different BMW models built between 2000 and 2018, including several each in the I, X and M series, along with other models.
